Experience
While I've been helping my younger siblings with their homework since they were old enough to be in school, I started my first formal tutoring job in high school. I moved into SAT I and SAT II prep a few years ago and haven't looked back. Between teaching in the US and in the UK, I have developed a comprehensive and proven method to achieve SAT goals, tailored to a UK-system student's individual needs. I have also assisted students who have matriculated at Columbia University and Sarah Lawrence College.
Biography
A native Californian, I also lived in Las Vegas prior to briefly attending Revelle College at University of California San Diego to study Physics. I moved to London in 2007 where I completed a joint honours course in English and History at Goldsmiths College.
Personal Approach
I've always felt that confidence plays a major role in a student's ability to succeed on tests. As such, I make it a point to ensure students receive a great deal of positive reinforcement when deserved, in the hopes that when test day comes, they remain calm and confident throughout. My approach is to never have a dull moment with the SAT--I engage students with the material using equal parts humor and empathy.
